Answer:

Rate constant = 0.01238 days⁻¹

Explanation:

The first order reaction has as general equation:

Ln[A] = -kt + Ln[A]₀

<em>Where [A] is concentration of the reactant after time t,</em>

<em>k is rate constant</em>

<em>And [A]₀ the initial concentration of the reactant</em>

<em />

The half-life is the time required to reach the half of the initial concentration. If [A]₀ = 1; [A] = 1/2

Replacing:

Ln[1/2] = -kt + Ln[1]

-0.693 = -k*56days

0.01238days⁻¹ = k

<h3>Rate constant = 0.01238 days⁻¹</h3>

What happens to the partial pressure of oxygen in a sample of air if the temperature is increased?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Air is mainly composed of N2  (78%), O2 (21%) and other trace gases. Now, the total pressure of air is the sum of the partial pressures of the constituent gases. The partial pressure of each gas, for example say O2, can be expressed as:

p(O2) = mole fraction of O2 * P(total, air)  ----(1)

Thus, the partial pressure is directly proportional to the total pressure. If we consider a sealed container then, as the temperature of air increases so will its pressure. Based on equation (1) an increase in the pressure of air should also increase the partial pressure of oxygen.

Pick the correct pair of species that can form hydrogen bond with water. (A) CH, HCOOH (B) F, HCOOH (C) F .CH,OCH, (D) Both (B)
Xelga [282]

Answer:

(B) F⁻, HCOOH

Explanation:

(A) CH₄, HCOOH

(B) F⁻, HCOOH

(C) F⁻, CH₃-O-CH₃

The hydrogen bonds are formed when the hydrogen is found between two electronegative atoms such as oxygen (O), nitrogen (N) or florine (F).

O····H-O, F····H-O, O····H-N

(A) CH₄, HCOOH

- here methane CH₄ is not capable to form hydrogen bond with water

- formic acid HCOOH can form hydrogen bonds with water

H-C(=O)-O-H····OH₂

(B) F⁻, HCOOH

-both floride (F⁻) and formic acid can form hydrogen bonds with water

F····OH₂

H-C(=O)-O-H····OH₂

(C) F⁻, CH₃-O-CH₃

-  dimethyl-ether CH₃-O-CH₃ is not capable to form hydrogen bond with water

- floride (F⁻) can form hydrogen bonds with water

F····OH₂
